You are either being dishonest or are just ignorant. User data is disclosed to advertisers when they auction for ad placement. Many of those advertisers then sell the user data they collect through the auction, whether or not they win the auction, to other parties. It's a virtual certainty the FBI, CIA, NSA etc purchase that information. Your argument is basically Google didn't do anything wrong because they are not the direct point of sale. But they aren't fools. They know what happens to the data they disclose to advertisers. It's repackaged and sold again.

User data is not disclosed to adveritsers. Please produce the documentation where I can purchase user data. All I can do is ask google to target people. I can not get info on those people from Google.

  I'm going by this document from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties and a lawsuit brought against Google, signed by member of Congress, that alleged data brokers are "siphoning" off bid-stream data and reselling it . It makes the claim that U.S Dept of Homeland Security uses real-time bidding data for warrant-less phone tracking. https://www.iccl.ie/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Mass-data-breach-of-Europe-and-US-data-1.pdf?utm_source=simpleanalytics.com https://www.iccl.ie/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Mass-data-bre... https://www.tampabay.com/news/2021/05/07/google-selling-users-personal-data-despite-promise-federal-court-lawsuit-claims/ https://www.tampabay.com/news/2021/05/07/google-selling-user... I get the desire for a smoking gun. Maybe one exists and someone else interested in the subject could share it. But at some point, people make judgement calls based off of the information made public. I would bet my original assertion is true, and that Google data is somehow being sold to the federal government, to build dossiers on it's citizens. Same with E.U. citizens.
